Title Rattan: A Complement to Swidden Agriculture in Borneo
 
Creator WEINSTOCK, JOSEPH A.
 
Subject —
 
Description Various agricultural strategies have been tried in areas of tropical rain forest devoted to Swidden or shifting cultivation. Some have focused on food production, others on cash crops. Certain strategies have disrupted the ecological balance of the rainforest, while others were developed with ecological stability in mind. Rarely have food production and cash cropping existed simultaneously while still maintaining ecological stability. Rattan production in the tropical rainforest of southeastern Borneo is an indigenous system of producing both food and cash crop without ecological disruption.ABSTRAKPelbagai strategi pertanian telah cuba diperkenalkan di kawasan hutan hijau tropika di mana kaedah pertanian pindah atau Swidden diamalkan. Terdapat strategi yang menekankan pengeluaran tanaman makanan diperkenalkan, dan ada pula yang memberi tumpuan kepada tanaman kontan. Ada strategi tertentu yang mengganggu keseimbangan ekologi hutan hujan ini, sementara strategi yang lain dikembangkan bertujuan mengekalkan kestabilan ekologi itu. Jarang sekali pengeluaran tanaman makanan dan kontan wujud serentak sambil dapat mengekalkan kestabilan ekologi. Penanaman rotan di kawasan hutan hujan tropika tenggara Borneo merupakan satu sistem asli yang bertujuan menghasilkan kedua-dua tanaman makanan dan kontan tanpa mengganggu ekologi.
